[Pug the Pig]

Manze's opened in 1929 I believe...there used to be loads of pie n mash joints in London, and they traditionally had the fancy ( to a greater or lesser degree) tiled interior.. In the 80s I lived in the East End and there were quite a few in Bethal Green to choose from, was good grub, and cheap, ideal for guys in bands really!

 

[Pug the Pig]

The pie and mash ( & jellied eel) shops have declined in recent times, still a few around tho.....Pellici's Italian cafe ( with its deco look) is still going in Bethnal Green, I used to pass this most days, and is round the corner from where the Krays used to live.

The one member who knows my unusual hobby seems to be currently MIA.

Ah, maybe he's just undercover with the CIA...

 

[ScrewDevil]

She, actually. Lol. I doubt it but anything is possible.

 

[Son of Wobble]

You're close. But he's actually working Secret Service, as he reported in the email he just sent me.
He adds that protecting Bill's leftover 1/2 a cheeseburger is not as exciting as TB OT, but he's happy to have
landed a steady gig given his age. Plus, the boss lets him keep his shades on.

Some of the disguises on these here special agents, uncanny..

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that room temperature foods most definitely have merit, including salads. I actually prefer it to chilled. The flavours seem to blossom more. And yes, I spelled flavour like that so y'all would think I'm sophistimicated

The thought never entered my mind.

You saw through my clever ruse!!

You saw through my clever ruse!!

No. We just know you.

Can any ruse that can be seen through really be considered clever? I mean... [snort of derision]

Snorting derision can cause permanent cilia damage. I know. I dated a girl named Celia and yes. She was damaged!!

I think it was my uvula.

Tomatoes should never be refrigerated unless they previously ripened at room temperature and will start to rot if not cooled.
I never buy the soft ones at the market 'cause they're just soft, not ripe.
If I must buy em and use them as soon as I get home, I run them under warm water first,

For me cold watermelon is good on a hot day, but more flavorful at room temp the rest of the time.

...Patching a lawn is a big pain in the ass.

Unless that's some kind of a college initiation, why would you use that?
If I were you, I'd just use my hands, as the soreness doesn't seem to last as long.

Besides, I have to be careful not to bust mine any further, as it already has a huge crack down the middle!

There are sixty seconds in a minute no matter where you are on the planet.

Yet, I'm still trying to figure out how many minutes are in a second when I'm on the phone and the person on the other end has to do or verify something, but first tells me "one second please", and I end up waiting an extended amount of time with or without actually being placed on hold.

 

[ctmullins]

But they weren't wrong. You did wait one second. Then you waited a whole bunch more seconds...

That's what the shareholder's official email finally stated after complaining to the second-tier rep, office supervisor, and regional supervisor did me no good.

 

[ctmullins]

Did you fill out the proper complaint forms? In triplicate?
